» absoluteFooter - just like includeFooter but you supply actual HTML instead of pointing to a file
Note: absoluteHeader & absoluteFooter will work fine with earlier versions of the ASP script engine.
» disableHTMLheaders - if you want to supply your own <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE></TITLE> <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> <LINK> </HEAD> <BODY> and </BODY></HTML> tags in your include/absolute header/footer. I don't recommend this one - see the notes.
» includeJavascript - includes a .js file in a <SCRIPT src="yourfile.js"></SCRIPT> tag in the HEAD.

1.7 ASP & PHP
» Andromeda can now read ID3v1, ID3v1.1, and ID3v2 tags (Artist, Album, and Track name) as well as determine track length and quality. There are two new prefs: getID3info and skipID3v1. getID3info activates Andromeda's ID3 reader, and skipID3v1 tells Andromeda not to scan for the ID3v1 tag. Both the ASP and PHP versions default with getID3info on, but with the ASP version I've set skipID3v1 to default to true, as ASP seems quite slow in finding its way to the end of the MP3 file (where the ID3v1 tag is).
